Not 100% clear what you're looking for. You could be looking for one
of two things:

1). You have a project, and it has svn:externals set on certain
folders. You want to find those folders.

That's fairly easy to do with the "svn propget". Go to the root of
your project and run:

    $ svn propget -v -R svn:externals

That will show you all the directories where svn:externals are set and
directories are being pulled in.

2). You have a bunch of "external" projects, and want to know in what
other projects they're being used.

This is much more difficult since there's no way to see what projects
are using a particular directory as an external project. The only
thing I can think of is to run the "svn propget" on the entire
repository and parse the output.
